I keep it locked up in a box
while denial protects the key
I doubt every good intention
each and every time I flee
Hidden behind a mask
I see it all play out
My life is not my own
I am full of hate and doubt
This mask conceals my faults
I never let him in
I leave before I'm left
I am a maze within
Leading with twists and turns
I frustrate and anger
because I know in the end
My heart is in danger
No matter how hard
I try to change my ways
I always end up running
As the days pass away
I wish someone would come
and rescue me of
this retched curse
of unattainable love
